Severe seasonal rains in northern Afghanistan have triggered flash floods, resulting in at least 50 fatalities and numerous missing individuals. The province of Baghlan has been particularly affected, with the death toll expected to increase. The capital, Kabul, has also been struck by flooding, causing widespread destruction of homes. The country's ongoing economic crisis, natural disasters, and conflicts have compounded the challenges. The El Niño phenomenon has exacerbated wet conditions, heightening the risk of floods and impeding food supplies and crop production, especially in the north and northeast. Last month, heavy rains led to flash floods that claimed over 100 lives, destroyed numerous homes, and damaged extensive farmland. The destruction of infrastructure poses a significant obstacle to delivering humanitarian aid, further exacerbating the plight of a population already grappling with economic collapse, malnutrition, and conflict.
